Since we've loved the elegant comfort and brisk breakfast conversation at other B&Bs we've stayed in, we were enthusiastic to stay at Sweetwater Branch Inn during our trip to Gainesville, FL. This is a much larger establishment than most others we'd experienced. The buildings and grounds are beautiful. And breakfast is amazing. But we were a little disappointed in our room, a very small space on the first floor. It was so small, we constantly bumped into each other. The bathroom plumbing needs a little updating and repair. And, because our room was right next to the kitchen, we were awoken too early each morning by the clinking and banging sounds of pots and pans, dishes and silverware. Unlike many other B&Bs, guests at the Sweetwater do not have breakfast together. Instead, they have a window of a couple of hours and can select from many options set out in the kitchen, then sit and eat at one of several small tables on the enclosed front porch. We missed the opportunity to meet guests from other places and share tips about what to do and see.

I found the room to be very clean. The bed was firmer than what I normally sleep on, but I found it surprisingly comfortable. Air conditioning worked great. I got the deluxe room so that I could be assured of a view of the lake. My husband was thrilled that he got to see an allligator twice during our stay.

The hotel was definitely not what we were expecting. We called and booked a two night stay here on a last minute decision and thought it would be terrible. We were so pleasantly surprised to find out what a great hotel it was, and for only $69 a night!!! Waldo Inn and Suites was so great and we would definitely recommend it to others. It was clean, the staff was very pleasant and easy to deal with, they have free breakfast, free wifi, a pool, and decent sized rooms and bathrooms. It's about 20 minutes away from the heart of Gainesville which was very nice too. We will definitely be staying here again whenever we come back to Gainesville.
